You acknowledge that the purpose of the Reservation deposit is to serve as an incentive to you to vacate the House when required hereunder and leave it in an acceptable condition (as required hereunder). To ensure that the full Reservation Deposit amount is on hand at all times during the Membership term, you agree to deliver to NeueHouse upon its request any amount necessary to restore the full amount of your Reservation Deposit following any draw that NeueHouse has previously made on your Reservation Deposit.
